4 - major changes, new bugs and changes in decoding behaviour are
5 expected (but not intended).
6 - major scanning and decoding speed-up (by a factor of 4),
7 by replacing ultra-slow _FP_gets and improving IsKnownHeader
8 (but fgets is *still* responsible for >50% if the time).
9 - new option OPT_AUTOCHECK to disable O(n) UUCheckGlobalList
10 call after every loadfile, majorly speeds up large decodes
11 (easily by a factor of 10..100).
12 - allow "Smerge -1" to call UUCheckGlobalList.
13 - majorly speed up part insertion (still O(n), but much faster).
14 - allow for 1023 octet headers instead of the standard
15 255 octet ones.
16 - support strcasestr, strcasecmp, strncasecmp for added speed.
17
181.12 Mon Oct 13 14:11:01 CEST 2008
19 - use the yencode filesize as additional matching criterium
20 to avoid false matches.
21 - made the example decoder more verbose w.r.t. error handling.
22 - removed potentially confusing decide_temp calls from
23 example decoder.
24
251.11 Fri Jun 13 15:32:30 CEST 2008
26 - don't ask.
27
281.10 Fri Jun 13 14:22:42 CEST 2008
29 - fix an infinite-looping problem when scanning in freestyle
30 mode (testcase provided by Pieter Geens and Reinhard Pfau).
31
321.09 Fri May 25 19:38:11 CEST 2007
33 - create something sensible, trust a windows program to fuck
34 it up: work around literal "(null)" filenames in yenc-encoded
35 files.
36 - some minor cleanups.
37
381.08 Sat Dec 16 23:27:13 CET 2006
39 - URGENT update, the last release did not
40 decode files correctly, usually not at all.
41 - my last patch was, of course, completely bogus.
42 (sorry. looked simple...).
43
441.07 Sun Dec 10 17:41:46 CET 2006
45 - fixed an uninitialised variable based on analysis
46 and patch by Mark Martinec.
47
481.06 Tue Dec 6 00:56:05 CET 2005
49 - fix a number of int/long format errors in the encoding part and
50 fix some signed/unsigned char problems of unknown relevance,
51 reported by Jonas Smedegaard.
52 - new EXPERIMENTAL options OPT_RBUF and OPT_WBUF to set default
53 stdio buffer size for reading and writing files.
54
551.051 Thu Mar 3 18:00:52 CET 2005
56 - change of contact address.
57 - updated perl parts to GPLv2.
58
591.05 Fri Feb 25 22:50:27 CET 2005
60 - fix a (likely exploitable) segfault problem, (tracked down
61 and/or reported by Mark Martinec and Robert Lewis).
62
631.04 Tue Dec 28 15:08:44 CET 2004
64 - slightly improved subject filename extraction.
65 Also see the filename callback in the example-decoder.
66
671.03 Sun Apr 18 22:05:43 CEST 2004
68 - upgrade to uudeview-0.5.20, which supposedly fixes a few buffer
69 overflows. However, judging from the patch these vulnerabilities
70 were not present in the Convert-UUlib version (I might err, though,
71 documentation on the actual exploits is scarce).
72 As every uudeview update usually brings more instability than stability
73 I advise against using this version until it has proven itself
74 to be stable, or 1.02 is proven to contain the same buffer overflows.
75
761.02 Sun Apr 18 16:47:26 CEST 2004
77 - renamed crc32 to uulib_crc32, to work around yet another
78 shortcoming in this oh-so-outdated macosx.
79
801.01 Sun Feb 1 19:49:51 CET 2004
81 - make it compile with 5.005_03 (reported by Anton Berezin).
82 - very short files might not be detected because the header
83 parsing code might skip them.
84
851.0 Thu Nov 6 14:32:08 CET 2003
86 - change bracket policy to give priority to (x/y) over (x),
87 and use the last bracket found otherwise.
88 - part numbers at the end of the subject are now recognized.
89 - updated to uulib-0.5.19. Differences and bugfixes kept.
90
910.31 Wed Oct 16 01:22:34 CEST 2002
92 - no internal code changes.
93 - much better documentation, now considered "useful".
94 - removed the procedural interface.
95 - fought the wish to perl-5.8'ify and thus simplify the code :().
96 - stress-tested version 0.3 against 70000 data postings since sunday.
97
980.3 Sun Oct 13 15:12:11 CEST 2002
99 - updated to uulib 0.5.18. As expected, some but not all of my bugfixes
100 have went into uulib, so the number of differences decreased a bit
101 again.
102 - I found out that the library is being sold commercially by Frank
103 Pilhofer, disregarding the GPL and ignoring the rights of the people
104 who sent in patches :(
105 - vastly more useful documentation in the .pm file.
106 - much smaller distribution filesize ;)
107
1080.213 Sat Jul 27 21:16:30 CEST 2002
109 - fixed another buffer overflow, also added a santity check to fgets.
110
1110.212 Sat Apr 6 03:52:13 CEST 2002
112 - fix yEnc decoding support.
113 - new option OPT_DOTDOT, that makes uulib unescape dot-escaping.
114 - increased linelength to 1195.
115
1160.211 Fri Apr 5 23:56:46 CEST 2002
117 - *sigh*. new version of uulib, new braindamaged buffer overflows
118 fixed. Diffs like "line length 256 => 300" should have
119 alerted me...
120
1210.21 Sun Mar 31 22:06:05 CEST 2002
122 - bumped uulib from 0.5.15 to 0.5.17 (adds some yEnc support, YENC_ENCODED).
123 - source-renamed FP_*-symbols to _FP_* again, but still define them
124 to be FP_* in the object file.
125 - new callback: SetFileNameCallback (actually documented ;)
126
1270.201 Sun Sep 16 03:43:38 CEST 2001
4 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who 128 - fixed another segfault-bug in uulib, thanks to Lars Hecking who
